Some complaint is made by people
living in Atwell and Mt. Ulla Townships
of an increase of taxes this year. This is
to be expected iu some instances as the
result of the recent re-valuation. The
result can iu no instance be traced to the
removal of any one or more individuals
from the office of County Commissioner,
as some pretend to argue. Nor is the
county plunged into debt from this
cause. Let reason temper the speech of
those who attempt to make capital out
of such matters. The accounts and books
of the county are open to the people, and
the officers in charge ai-e ready to an
swer all reasonable questions in regard
to the finances of the county.; Let the
complainants make complaint at the
proper place.

"Piny Meeting House," Was well
known in the eastern part of this county
a good many years ago, as a Lutheran
church five miles from this place on the
Briugle Ferry road. The land on which
it is located, was deeded iu trust to
Frederick Fisher aud Michael Brown.
The original building was of hewn logs,
subsequently twice weather boarded and
painted. New floors were laid on Jop of
the old ones. Within w last five ot
six years the congregation worshipping
there have built a fine brick church,
40x60 feet. But it now goes by the name
of "Union Church," and the object of

MINING.
T. K. BRUNEI, MANAGER.
Mr. Newman has return d from a trip
North where he has been negotiating the
sale of some valuable mining lauds.
Mr. Dolph Heilig has two veins partly
disclosed on his farm where two recent
discoveries have been made. The last
vein is probably a silver bearing blende,
and is over seven feet wide. This pro
perty will be visited soon when more
definite information will be given in
regard to it.
Dr. R. M. Eames has a force employed
cross-cutting and doing other work at
the Bunnell Mt. Miue iu Montgomery
county.
Mr. Lyon who has been searching for
the rich vein of the Steele mine, which
crosses ou his side of the line, has been re
warded in striking it very rich. The
vein is of solid gold from i to nearly an
inch iu thickness. This property is iu
Montgomery county. More news from
this find is expected soou.
The outlook for active operations in
the mining districts of North Carolina
were never better. A uew impetus has
been given the busiuess and numbers of
men with capital have indicated that
ere long they would seek here a field for
investment.
Will the friends of mining generally
aid us by sending in notes of incidents,
discoveries, resumption or suspension of
operations in their localities. This would
enable us to furnish a greater amount of
news, and at the same time indicate
where the more active operations
conducted.
An Honest South. "I have been living
in Georgia seven years and have never
had but one visit from a beggar. I have
never locked my front door at night. My
family sometimes go from home on a visit
ton neighbor and stay all day and leave
the house unlocked, aud nothing has
ever been stolen that we know of. My
stab.e aud corn crib are never locked.
No houester people over lived than live
around us. My opinion is that our
people are most too lazy to steal, and
wouldn't go after corn unless it was
shucked and shelled aud sacked. I be
lieve that if I was to put a bag full of
nice corn out at my front gate some teller
would take it aud carry it off; but won't
go to the crib after it. It is too much
trouble." Hill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
The figures of the manufactures of the
South may not seem great to a New Eng
land or a Pittsburgh capitalist, but that
the South should be able to make any
thing like such au exhibit is amazing
when one considers how recently that
part of the country was almost exclusive
ly given over to agriculture, and that
almost entirely in one staple. Many iron
furnaces have lately beeu closed iu Penn
sylvania that will never open again, aud
the capital that ran them is reappearing
in Virginia and Alabama. The extent of
the revolution that is thus being accom
plished is as yet unappreciated by the
couutry.

terprise is, in the present condition of
affairs iu Western Carolina, a necessity.

From the Raleigh News Observer,
All the fools, are not dead yet, nnd
there seems to be unusual vitality among
them in Pennsylvania. The latest de
velopment in that department of nature,
is one William P. Snyder, who last enr
was employed by the department of
Justice to help out in the South Carolina
political trials. In April last Attoi nev
General Brewster wrote him, "dispen
sing with his services," and Mr. Suyder's
employment ceased. But to live ou
unknown to fame did not suit the aspi
rations of Snyder. He doubtless be
thought him of many methods of getting
his uame iu the dispatches, and tiuallv
adopted the plan of writing a letter.
Forthwith, therefore, on Novveiuber
21st, six mouths after he had ceased to
draw his pay as au assistant attorney of
the United States, he indited a letter of
resignation as follows :
"Sir : I hereby tender my resignation
as special Uuited States attorney and ask
that my relations with the department
of Justice, so far as prosecutions ot per
sons for violating the elective franchise
in South Carolina are concerned, be en
tirely aud immediately severed. Duty to
my friends, to my family and to myself
com pels me to do so. I am too young
to be killed, too honest to mislead, too
proud to be misled, and too patriotic not
to lebel. The department of Justice has
treated me kindly, aud if I cau serve it
hereafter in any capacity other than the
one which made me a slave, aud which I
hereby relinquish, 1 will be glad to
do it.'
That was a litt'e too much even for
Brewster. We doubt not that the aged
Attorney General smiled all over at the
suggestion that "Snyder was too voting
to be killed," for it would seem that he
was exactly the right age if a fool killer
had beeu convenient. At any rate the
department hasted to reply, as follows :
"The Attorney General directs me to
say that he has received your silly letter,
dated 2lst iust. at Allentowu. In it vou
tender your resignation as special assis
tant to the United States attorney forthe
district of South Carolina. You know
very well that such resignation is un
necessary, for you are not, and were not
at the time you wrote that letter, a spe
cial assistant to Mr. Melton, the Uuited
States attorney, for. upon Aniil 24th.
w s M A
1883, the department of Justice sent you
notice to that effect."
But pray why was such such a silly fel
low, ever employed to help try political
cases in South Carolina?

by typhoid fever. Mr. McKinnon's wife
died some weeks ago, and on last Mou -day
his oldest daughter, Miss Cnttie, a
charming young lady entering her 21st
year, was calied to meet her sainted
mother. The next day (Tuesday) Mr.
McKinnon's son, aged seven years, fol

children had been sick for a number of
weeks, nnd we understand the disease is
stilt raging in Mr. McKinnon's family.
He has several children left, all of young
and tender years. Mr. McKinnon lives
at Plain View, Robeson county, and is
well known thoughont this section of
the State. He is a brother of Bev. L.

Lost Confidence. New Orleans, Nov.

moved they be discharged. He said he
meant no reflection upon auy individual
member, but had heard on the streets more
about the working of the jury room than
he could learn in the court building. The
public he said had lost confidence iu the
grand jury as a body, and that he shared
that feeling. Judge Luzenburg there
fore discharged the grand jury without
delay. It is understood that the asser
tion of interested parties on the streets
that the grand jury in the Kate 'Towns
end murder trial stood divided as to the
question of murder or manslaughter, had
something to do with the action of the
officials in having them discharged.
Judge Luzenburg will select another

Ancient Pottery. In the fields just
above Flemming's ford on the Catawba
river, which have been iu cultivation for
more than a hundred Years. Quantities
of broken Indian pottery may be found
at this day. From fragments which we
have seen, we would suppose that these
vessels were large, probably containing
several gallons and the outrides were
curiously marked iu various patterns and
covered with hieroglyphics. This pottery
evidently marks the spot where one of
those prehistoric "burial mouuds" was
erected by a race long forgotten, iu memo
ry ot the fallen heroes of some unrecor
ded battle. The river valleys were
always selected as the site lor the erec
tion of these rude monuments, and many
of them may still be found on the banks
of the Catawba aud the Yadlriu.

New York, Nov. 26. The celebration
of the centennial of the evacuation
by the British was carried out with
faithful adherence to the published pro

neailjLaU day. At sunrise the forts and
ships tried a salute of twenty -one guns
followed in half an hour with the success
ful effect of all the steam whistles in the
bay aud on the rivers to make most dis
agreeable worse than imaginable, thus
emphasizing wonderful difference be
tween the navigation of 1773 and 1883.
The decorations on laud and water were
elaborate though much bedraggled stars
and stripes predominated but the flags of
nearly all the nations of the earth were
to be seen at intervals. Places of busi
ness were closed aud the entire popula
tion of Manhattan aud Long Island gave
themselves up to the enjoyment of the
patriotic occasion. Poiuts of historic
interest were surrounded by crowds aux
ious to recall the scenes of the day when
the British withdrew from the American
shores aud iudepeudence was really made
secure. Presideut Arthur and Governor
Cleveland aud staff had their headquar
ters at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Other
dignitaries from other States were also
present. Included among these were the
governors of the original thirteen States.
The display of military was fine.

grammes. There are many cases in which
au extraordinary intellect has accompan
ied a heavy braiu. but men whose meu-
tal superiority is undoubted by both
friend and foe had often brains under
the average weight. The cast ot Raphael's
skull shows that it was smaller than the
average British skull : Cardinal Mezzo
tanti's head was but of the average size :
Charles Dicken's head was rather smaller
than the average ; Lord Byron's head
was remarkably small; Charles did not
come up to the Lamb's average weight;
aud it is well known that at the death of
l,;imU rt:L his brain was found to be
smaller than that of an ordinary Parisian
ouvrier.
The remarkable mildness of the weath

Presideu Arthur's cabinet is thus de
scribed by a writer iu the Troy Times:
"Brewster is the most punctilious mem
ber, Frelhighuysen the most aristocratic,
Lincoln the quietest, Gresham the ablest,
Folger the most judicial, Teller aud
Chandler are the two who keep track of
things generally aud the hardest work
ers." The attendance of Roman Catholic
bishops at Home is required once within
the space of three years. A law also
exists obliging cardinals not to leave the
Eternal city without notifying the Pope.
The former regulations leads to a special
ly large congregation of bishops at Rome
at this time, aud the latter having been
ignored by Cardinal Hoheulohe is the
cause of his disgrace in the eye of the
Pope.
Gen. Hancock is to be congratulated
upon having won his long pending suit
against the proprietor ot the St. Cloud
hotel. New York, for a valuable lot of
jewelry w hich was stolen from him in the
winter of 187G, while he aud his wife
were residing at that house. The value
of " the property was about $4,000, and
the u nest ion now tiuallv settled in the
suit is that a hotel proprietor is liable for
lossea thus accruing, whether the loser be
a transient guest or regular ooaruer,
whenever he fails to keep notices posted
that for the security of their valuables
"nests must deposit them iu the hotel
safe.
